Torsion units for a Ree group, Tits group and a Steinberg triality group. (Q276295): Difference between revisions

The author studies the well-known Zassenhaus conjecture for the integral group rings of the Steinberg simple group of Lie type \(^3D_4(2^3)\), the Ree group of Lie type \(^2F_4(2)\), and its commutator subgroup, the sporadic simple group of Tits, namely, that a torsion normalized unit is conjugate to some group element in the rational group algebra in fact establishing for these groups the prime graph conjecture of W. Kimmerle, applying a method due to I. S. Luthar, I. B. S. Passi and M. Hertweck. In a series of papers, a recent one is [J. Algebra Appl. 11, No. 1, Article ID 1250016 (2012; Zbl 1247.16032)] \textit{V. Bovdi} and \textit{A. Konovalov} have studied the conjecture by the same method for sporadic simple groups, and more recently, \textit{A. Herman} and \textit{G. Singh}, [Proc. Indian Acad. Sci., Math. Sci. 125, No. 2, 167-172 (2015; Zbl 1331.16027)], for all but two groups of order less than 96 and the author [J. Algebra Appl. 12, No. 6, 1350016 (2013; Zbl 1280.16035)] for projective special groups.
